Salt to the Sea is an emotional journey following a group of people trying to escape the terror that is the red army. It follows the journeys of Joana, a Lithuanian woman who carries guilt on her mind, Emilia, a pregnant Polish girl, Alfred, a delusional sailor, and Florian, the art prodigy who carries his revenge around his neck. In my opinion,'Salt to the Sea', is an incredibly sad tale of lost trust and the hope that there is something more, something to save them from the harsh, cold winter of World War 2.
